Farm accounting reveals lessons from Wisconsin farms
An analysis of detailed records from Wisconsin farms shows investment costs, including taxes and depreciation, average about two thirds of total farm costs and are largely independent of production. Operating at or near capacity reduces cost per unit. Investments, like a too-expensive barn, can be costly long term. Real savings come from careful evaluation of expenses and their income impact over time, and from home grown produce and cured meats to cut family food costs.
